Merchant of the Skies Development Roadmap

EDIT: most of the things are done :) final campaign release on April 17, 2020.
EDIT: updated the roadmap a bit. Expected it to be updated as development goes on

Hey everyone! As written in Early Access description, I wanted to give a roadmap of what to expect during the development. After the game launches into early access, you can expect the following:

✅First two weeks: balancing/urgent quality of life additions. [DONE]
✅Later: caravan System (automatic goods transportation between islands) [DONE]
✅Oct 2019: Bigger Map
✅Nov 2019: more QoL adjustments / new map biomes
✅Dec 2019: considering adding customizable/buildable manor [not yet confirmed/decided, but we really want this]
✅Afterwards: Game Goals / More production chains (Inn delivery game goal added; tea + wheat production chains set up)
✅Final release: ultimate goal / campaign mode which tries to encompass all major objectives (done!)

Politics like the Guild series to be implemented at some point?

Hey! Sorry for the slow reply, I was at the conference. I was not planning to do an advanced politics system, but I hope to have something similar to a faction influence with the world's trade guild, no promises on that yet though.

Hey!

Since the release got delayed, I'm seriously considering adding the reputation system (i.e. basically every city gets a rep and you get discounts if you were helping the city out).

Is it something similar? Can you clarify what you've meant by Politics as in Guild series?

And what will be the price of the game?

What is your currency region?

The launch price is going to be 5.79 GBP, +10% discount which will make it ~5,22 GBP :)

I'd love to be able to rearrange my buildings. During the endgame, I've got recharging points all over the place, and I'd really like to be able to dock, recharge, empty the storage and go. Currently, because recharging stations are usually the last thing built, I have to scroll to the far right to get to it.

Another thing, is I'd like to be able to see the cost of buildings at will. I found myself going to an island to find exactly what resources I needed, and eventually started writing it down.
- Am I right to think that something like that will fall under "quality of life" upgrades?

Hey! The build cost thing I'm planning to find a way to check later, correct.

You can't rearrange them, but you can quick navigate them (small arrow on the left opens quick navigatio menu so you don't have to scroll)
